And then....One.

Dear Emmeline,

       One year ago, on a day as sunny and beautiful as today, you came into the world after 3 long days of labor.  You were born at 7:20 am and we fell in love right away.  Since that day we have been blessed to watch you grow and share in the discoveries of your world.  At age one you are sweet and loving, full of energy and inquisitive in nature.  You are so smart and your vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Your favorite words now are: Mama, baby, cat, Papa, ball, God, dog, night night, apple.  Your favorite food right now is celery.  You continue to love books, music, animals, sounds, and the outside.  You spend hours taking things out, putting them in, opening and shutting and singing while you work.  You can match pitch and copy simple melodies.  Right now your favorite instrument is a pot.  Recently you watch us so much more, you listen to our words and follow our actions.  It really makes us stop and think.  You are growing us too baby girl! Today was a special day as we went to the Camden Aquarium and watched you see fish up close. Tomorrow is your birthday party.  Happy Birthday dear little lady! May God always bless and keep you close in His care. We love you so much.

Mama, Papa and the cats.
